Ellsworth and His Zouaves.

Young Elmer D. Ellsworth came here years before the war, with his troop of young zou- ayes, whom he drilled and maneuvered in the presence of delighted audiences. met him in Washington and saw him as he paced the corridor of Wilards hotel, arm in arm with William H. Seward, then secretary of state, he ambitious for colonels commission in the regular army, and at the same time an applicant for assistant secretary of the war department, post which MT. Lincoln recom- mended him to Simon Cameron. Shortly after that when his regiment, the New York Fire Zouaves, was quartered in the house of representatives, Willard's hotel caught fire Word was sent along Pennsylvania avenue that the old time hostelry was doomed
 In less time than it takes to tell it Ellsworth and his men were on the street rushing Deli mell, in regular fire laddie style, down the broad thoroughfare until they reached the blazing building. On the roof, in the cellar on every floor, climbing along the gutter, mounting the chimney, dangling from win dows, ill every possible place appeared these wild, mad men, determined not only to do their devoir, but to enjoy themselves while they were at it. Ellsworth stood with Gen. Mansfield on the corner, his arms folded, his cap pulled firmly down to his eyebrows, his hair, O beautiful chestnut brown, touching his very shoulder blades The fire was speed fly extinguished, and then, invited by Gen. Mansfield, Ellsworth walked to the piazza at the side of the hotel, and stood by the veteran commander, while he thanked the assembled Zouaves for their quick and helpful service, predicting he hoped equally efficient work in a more patriotic if not more exciting field.- Joe Howard ill New York Graphic.

At the Grave of Beecher.

The grave of Henry Ward Beecher in Greenwood cemetery is now ready to become an object of interest in that famous burying ground. It is at the top of what is known as Ocean hill. It is at present nothing more than simple unmarked mound of earth The situation commands magnificent view of nearly all of New York harbor, both the upper and lower bays. Standing at the mound one can look across the Narrows to the hill on Staten Island on the summit of which the Vanderbilt mausoleum is situated. Tho Staten Island tomb cost, exclusive of land, something like $300,000.
 The Beecher grave may have cost as much as S1O to dig and fill it in It is surrounded on every side by the most expensive monu- ments, the headstones all elaborately dressed and made to look as beautiful and cheerful as the memorials of the dead possibly can. It is peculiarly suggestive to find that the ornate monuments surrounding Mr. Beecher's grave are those of men whose names were never brought to public attention except at the bottom of advertisements. There is, for instance, @ monument of certain soda water manufacturer which is as ostentatious as his advertisements in the newspapers during his lifetime were glaring.
 In this respect Mir. Beecher's grave is re- markedly similar to the graves of almost all great men.-Albany Argus.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1887-12-19
Economic Value of Forests.

As far back as our colonial times, the fear of an exhaustion of lumber supply alarmed New England legislators; and as early as 1901, the Massachusetts society offered it's prizes for timber planting We may. smilo over the fears of those times when railroads had not yet revolutionized methods of trans portation, bringing the whole world under contribution for supplies. Yet, while those fears were premature, they were nevertheless prophetic, and the very railroads which have opened up the vast forest areas of the north west have brought rapidly near to us tho possibility of 0 time when scarcity of wood may be felt. For the haulage over SO long distances of so bulky freight, in addition to other obstacles, allows only small amount of the timber growing in those distant forests to be proftably moved to market, and from 50 to 60 per cent, often even moro, of the trees cut is left in the woods to rot or to fur nish food for the yearly confiagrations Even now, in the more remote lumber camps any part of tree less than one foot in diameter is considered unprofitable, and is left in tho woods
 But while the fear of those early alarmists is with renewed force, and upon @ more rea- sonable basis, again pressed upon us, other considerations besides waning lumber SUD- ply compel our attention to forest preserva- tion. A vague idea that some connection existed between the forest cover and the eli matic conditions of a country has been prevalent from olden times. "The tree is the mother of the fountain" or sthe father of tho rain'' are significant expressions of the sages of old. But it was due to the representations of such eminent naturalists as Humboldt, Boussingault and Becquerel that the impor- tant and complicated part which the forest plays in the economy of nature was first clearly recognized.-B E. Fernow in Popular Science Monthly.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1887-12-19

n such an attack, the element of time ane. exact planning of every mans Work 50 that there is no confusion and heslta- aon, are of vital importance. We ar. ranged with the utmost nicety. Capt. Try was to begin the movement, for he was the oldest, and we gave him the post or honor; was to stand by and help him With the jailer and the watchman Thoer, II the latter was On hand, as he usually was; probably was given this place from the correct view that with my poor eyes would be of more service in scuffle in the nall than in the glaring light outside. Then Buffum, who was as agile as a cat, was to snatch the keys, and, waiting for nothlng else, to open all the doors above. There were three, and the fitting of keys rom the bunch under such excitement was likely to make this take some time. 1 think no one of us felt that Buffum had desirable office But it was desirable to to nave all the prisoners released if only to distract the pursuit. All the others were arranged into two bands with lead CTS, to slip down the stairway at the pro- per time and break out on the guards at the front and rear doors simultaneously. Then quickness, courage and desperation were to be pitted against loaded muskets and bayonets, and the issue left to the God of battles.
 We had also chosen our comrades and routes. We were to travel in pairs and in every direction. Capt. Fry was to be my partner, and all the rest considered that l was fortunate, for he would be at home in the Cumberland mountains, to- ward which we were to journey. The intended course was marked out for each couple and everything done to forward the movement on which we believed de- pended our last chance of escaping the gallows. We did not forget to make most earnest applications in prayer, and to VOW, in the old time manner, that we would render faithful service to the Lord of Hosts if he would aid us in this great emergency.
 It was afternoon when we received the intelligence which determined our action and we could not very well be ready to start that day. So the work was set for the following afternoon.
